No furlough?

Tuesday, February 25, 2003 10:19 PM  
The union officials and the school district have come to a settlement, here in Portland, and if the agreement is ratified, we've got no strike.

And if that's the case, then the teachers have pledged to work ten days for free, and the city is buying the remaining fifteen days with a 1% increase in the business license tax -- and there will be a full school year. No furlough. It's almost too good to be true, but I confess I've breathed my profound sigh of relief.

Hallelujah! No mission k5? I've never been so happy to find that I might be out of a job! (well, it's just a volunteer job, but I take those seriously too...!)
